We've added a new screenshot to the screenshot gallery. This concept art is of the Azure Nebula that is planned to be introduced in Season 7.

This could be good if each faction has something that the other faction can't do but sort of use it as more story I suppose but if it is indeed of something to come odds are it will more than likely not be cross faction and fed only.
Uh. Who said it isn't?
Please - no. No more timeline abuse. My head hurts from the temporal leaps of logic things like this require.
So the Azure Nebula kinda makes sense as a place where it COULD be encountered.
Timeline abuse?
Huh?
It's just this floating shangri-la fantasy world that darts through once every 39.1 years.
Okay, so once you're inside of it, you CAN time travel. But the Nexus doesn't require time travel.
In a parallel universe, the Azure Nebula is full of natural transwarp conduits that lead e.g. to the Gamma-Delta Quadrant border (Hirogen territory), to the DQ (Children of the Storm territory) and the interstellar void, amongst dozens of others. (Star Trek: Destiny)
What we see on the picture are the Tholians opening rifts to the Mirror Universe, capturing Terran starships (such as ISS Enterprise-F), with the KDF and the Federation rushing to intervene. :cool:
Right, but since its only actual on-screen use has been for time travel out of the internal, individual fantasy worlds, I am concerned.
And lets be honest - which would be a more likely mission for Cryptic to crank out related to the nexus? Yet another time travel mission using the nexus or some nebulous shangra-la fantasy world involving the nexus that obviously wouldn't fit individual player fantasies?
Ug. Tired...of...time...travel.
I AM THE SWORD OF THE RIGHTOUS!
Or its neither of those and its just a strip of different colour nebula.
Going by stardate calculation of in-mission stardates...
Vega Colony Borg Incident is early 2409. By The 2800, it's December of 2409.
Yeah, yeah, we went from ensign to admiral in a year. I think the problem there would have been solved if they'd made our level the "year" and earning skill would advance the timeline.
So that 50 missions represent highlights over 10-15 years or so.
But that's not what Cryptic did.
I'd be okay with a few more time travel missions as long as they are NOT to the TOS era.
We have costumes for other eras (aside from the Lost Era, which is the collarless WoK jacket with TNG combadge phased in and eventually the TNG/WoK uniform that Janeway's dad wore).
If we're going somewhere, I'd hope it would be something like TMP era. Dan's a fan and it's the one era I can't remember any time travel to or from. We have Morgan bateson/Kirk/Voyager Flashback for the WoK era. The game alone has tons of TOS time travel. I'd prefer to either hit up the bell bottom era or the Stargazer/Enterprise-C era.
Good point.
And while we're on the subject, I would be inclined to say that the Nexus is tied to the great barriers at the galactic rim and core (and, presumably, top and bottom?). That this ties in with the Iconians, the Old Ones mentioned in TOS (whose servants look not unlike the Iconians, maybe the animal equivalent -- TOS: "Catspaw")...
And that the Nexus is the origin of the Sha Ka Ree myth. Since we've never seen the true Sha Ka Ree.
According to a segment on either the Generations blu-ray or the Evolution bonus disc special features, the Nexus ribbon will reappear in 2410. Remember, people who have been in the Nexus have part of them in it forever.

Actually, Ron Moore said in an interview that only people beamed out leave behind an echo.
So Soran and Guinan have echoes in there. Picard and Kirk don't. You could always conjure up an imaginary Kirk inside there or use the Nexus to travel back to Kirk's day if you had the willpower to leave.
Soran's echo is an interesting point because although he was included in some screenplay drafts, he never made it into the film.
That's about as official as it gets anyway.
So since the crack is in the Azure Nebula, which is in Klingon space, does that mean it will consume the Empire to the point we'll forget they ever existed?
/KDFtrolling :P
Though got to ask the team, what's going to happen to the old Azure Nebula? Removed or renamed?
The Azure Nebula never belonged in Omega Leonis. It supposed to be along the Federation Border as per canon.
Sulu tried to use the Azure Nebula to sneek into Klingon Territory to save Kirk.
Not sure if that really is the Nexus but a subspace tear. But if it is the Nexus, Cryptic has to advance the timeline or give an explaination why it's early.
I honestly never liked that idea for the Destiny series with the Azure Nebula having those Transwarp Conduits.
Is there a Doctor in the house?!
Or the new missions take place in 2410.
True.
But like to see how they advance the timeline and retaining the other 2409 storylines. Because one of the things Cryptic really does need to do is advance the game storywise and in a way a person that starts new, can start in early 2409 and go through all the missions and feel like time is progressing.
I don't see the Federation or the Klingons blowing up stars to alter the path of the Nexus. :rolleyes:
It is plausible that the Hobus Event could've altered the course of the Nexus, however given the distance from the previous Nexus paths on the Star Charts, realistically it would be infinitely minor (after all the Amagosa star only changed the course by a few degrees and the Nexus was passing very close).
Well, I sit corrected.
